Is your feature request related to a problem?
A user had a great suggestion of not hard deleting files when they are deleted within Zed, but instead moving them into the system trash bin. Despite us not really hearing this feedback a lot, I think it's important to reduce the chances of destroying a user's work (for example, if a file isn't tracked by Git).
It probably makes sense for us to add a setting for this, since some users do seem to like the idea of hard deleting. VS Code has a setting for this:

Nova.app does the same
Seems like Sublime Text does as well.
IntelliJ-based IDEs remove files directly (I don’t like their behavior tho)
Just deleted a file by mistake and lost 2 hours of work because I had not committed my changes, if the file had been send to the trash can I could have recovered my work!
